EMERALD TABLET IX :The Key of Freedom of Space

List ye, O man, hear ye my voice, teaching of Wisdom and Light in thiscycle; teaching ye how to banish the darkness, teaching ye how to bringLight in thy life.

Seek ye, O man, to find the great pathway that leads to eternal Life as aSun. Draw ye away from the veil of the darkness. Seek to become a

Light in the world. Make of thyself a vessel for Light, a focus for the Sunof this space.

Lift thou thine eyes to the Cosmos. Lift thou thine eyes to the Light.Speak in the words of the Dweller, the chant that calls down the Light.Sing thou the song of freedom. Sing thou the song of the Soul. Createthe high vibration that will make thee One with the Whole. Blend allthyself with the Cosmos. Grow into One with the Light. Be thou achannel of order, a pathway of Law to the world.

Thy Light, O man, is the great Light, shining through the shadow of flesh. Free must thou rise from the darkness before thou art One withthe Light.

Shadows of darkness surround thee. Life fills thee with its flow. Butknow, O man, thou must arise and forth from thy body go far to theplanes that surround thee and yet are One with thee, too.

Look all around thee, O man. See thine own light reflected. Aye, even inthe darkness around thee, thine own Light pours forth through the veil.

Seek thou for wisdom always. Let not thine body betray. Keep in thepath of the Light wave. Shun thou the darkened way. Know thee thatwisdom is lasting, existing since the All-Soul began, creating harmonyfrom chaos by the Law that exists in the Way.

List ye, O man, to the teaching of wisdom. List to the voice that speaks

of the past-time. Aye, I shall tell thee knowledge forgotten, tell ye of wisdom hidden in past-time, lost in the mist of darkness around me.

Know ye, man, ye are the ultimate of all things. Only the knowledge of this is forgotten, lost when man was cast into bondage, bound andfettered by the chains of the darkness.

Long, long ago, I cast off my body. Wandered I free through thevastness of ether, circled the angles that hold man in bondage. Knowye, O man, ye are only a spirit. The body is nothing. The Soul is All. Letnot your body be a fetter. Cast off the darkness and travel in Light. Castoff your body, O man, and be free, truly a Light that is One with theLight.

When ye are free from the fetters of darkness and travel in space as aSun of the Light, then ye shall know that space is not boundless buttruly bounded by angles and curves. Know ye, O man, that all thatexists is only an aspect of greater things yet to come. Matter is fluid andflows like a stream, constantly changing from one thing to another.

All through the ages has knowledge existed; never been changed,though buried in darkness; never been lost, though forgotten by man.

Know ye that throughout the space that ye dwell in are others as great

as your own, interlaced through the heart of your matter yet separate inspace of their own.

Once in a time long forgotten, I, Thoth, opened the doorway, penetratedinto other spaces and learned of the secrets concealed. Deep in theessence of matter are many mysteries concealed.

Nine are the interlocked dimensions, and Nine are the cycles of space.Nine are the diffusions of consciousness, and Nine are the worlds withinworlds. Aye, Nine are the Lords and the cycles that come from above

and below.

Space is filled with concealed ones, for space is divided by time. Seekye the key to the time-space, and ye shall unlock the gate. Know ye thatthroughout the time-space consciousness surely exists. Though fromour knowledge it is hidden, yet still it forever exists.

The key to worlds within thee are found only within. For man is thegateway of mystery and the key that is One within One.

Seek ye within the circle. Use the Word I shall give. Open the gatewaywithin thee, and sure thou, too, shalt live. Man, ye think that ye liveth,but know it is life within death. For as sure as ye are bound to your body, for you no life exists. Only the Soul is space-free, has life that isreally a life. All else is only a bondage, a fetter from which to be free.

Think not that man is earth-born, though come from the earth he maybe. Man is a light-born spirit. But, without knowing, he can never befree. Darkness fetters the Soul. Only the one who is seeking may ever hope to be free.

Shadows around thee are falling. Darkness fills all the spaces. Shineforth, O Light of the man-soul. Fill thou the darkness of space. Ye are aSun of the Great Light. Remember and ye shall be free. Stay not thou inthe shadows. Spring forth from the darkness of night. Light, let thy Soulbe, O Sun-Born, filled with glory of Light, freed from the bonds of darkness, a Soul that is One with the Light.

Thou art the key to all wisdom. Within thee is all time and space. Livenot in bondage to darkness. Free thou thy Light-form from night.

"Great Light that fills all the Cosmos, flow thou fully to man. Make of hisbody a light-torch that shall never be quenched among men."

Long in the past, sought I wisdom, knowledge not known to man. Far tothe past I traveled into the space where time began. Sought I ever newknowledge to add to the wisdom I know. Yet only, I found, did the futurehold the key to the wisdom I sought.

Down to the Halls of Amenti I journeyed, the greater knowledge to seek.Asked of the Lords of the Cycles, the way to the wisdom I sought.

Asked the Lords this question: "Where is the source of ALL?"Answered, in tones that were mighty, the voice of the Lord of the Nine:"Free thou thy Soul from thy body and come forth with me to the Light."

Forth I came from my body, a glittering flame in the night. Stood I beforethe Lords, bathed in the fire of Life. Seized was I then by a force, greatbeyond knowledge of man. Cast was I to the Abyss through spaces

unknown to man.

Saw I moulding of Order from the chaos and angles of night. Saw I theLight spring from Order and heard the voice of the Light. Saw I theflame of the Abyss, casting forth Order and Light. Saw Order spring outof chaos. Saw Light giving forth Life.

Then heard I the voice: "Hear thou and understand. The flame is thesource of all things, containing all things in potentiality. The Order thatsent forth light is the Word and from the Word comes Life and theexistence of all." And again spoke the voice saying: "The Life in thee isthe Word. Find thou the Life within thee, and have powers to use of theWord."

Long I watched the Light-flame, pouring forth from the Essence of Fire,realizing that Life is but Order and that man is one with the fire.

Back I came to my body. Stood again with the Nine, listened to thevoice of the Cycles, vibrate with powers they spoke: "Know ye, O Thoth,that Life is but the Word of the Fire. The Life force ye seek before theeis but the Word in the World as a fire. Seek ye the path to the Word andpowers shall surely be thine."

Then asked I of the Nine: "O Lord, show me the path. Give me the path

to the wisdom. Show me the way to the Word." Answered, me then, theLord of the Nine: "Through Order, ye shall find the way. Saw ye not thatthe Word came from Chaos? Saw ye not that Light came from Fire?Look in thy life for disorder. Balance and order thy life. Quell all theChaos of emotions and thou shalt have order in Life. Order brought forthfrom Chaos will bring thee the Word of the Source, will give thee thepower of Cycles, and make of thy Soul a force that free will extendthrough the ages, a perfected Sun from the Source."

Listened I to the voice and deep sank the words in my heart. For ever

have I sought for order that I might draw on the word. Know ye that hewho attains it must ever in Order be. For use of the Word throughdisorder has never and can never be.

Take ye these words, O man. As part of thy life, let them be. Seek theeto conquer disorder, and One with the Word thou shalt be.
